Shane was kind enough to retrieve a couple beers, and we retired out to the patio. “Regrets?”
“No.” And that was the truth. Not that I’m not reserving the right to have regrets should Tina decide to ask me to leave. But even with this bit of drama, today has been so worth it.
Shane gave me a sly smile.
“What?”
“I guess some things never change.”
“Meaning?”
“Well, you. Tina. You and Tina.”
The condensation was dripping off of the bottle. Closing my eyes, I rolled the cool glass across my forehead, as if that might make the pulsing stop. “Certain things have generally worked for Tina and me.”
This sounds like bragging, but it’s not. Sure, the first time around, perhaps our ***** life would hit lulls. But while we couldn’t quite figure out how to be each other’s spouse, fully, we did figure out how to be lovers.
That’s what probably doomed our one try at reconciliation. That time we attempted creating peace through *****. It didn’t work for John and Yoko for
Still, today. Tina taking command. This sent a shiver through me. I hope Shane thinks it’s from the bottle.
“So what next?”
“Well, I could run.” I looked at her, and gave her a smile. I’m not sure she realized that I was joking. “Now, I’m waiting.”
“For?”
“For Tina to set the lead.” And if she does that as well as she did earlier today, today’s child encounter should be one small bump on our road to reunion.
“Well, I guess the fireworks have stopped.”
“Temporarily,” I agreed.
“Maybe I will go on that date after all.”
I sat back in the chaise and closed my eyes again. “Don’t do get caught.”
“Me? Never.” Shane downed her beer and waved good-bye, empty bottle in hand. “Good luck.”
“Thanks.” I hope I don’t need it. I mean, I don’t hear any screaming.
Still, while I would have gladly been a part of their tte–tte, I’m even more glad that Jess wanted to talk to her mother alone.
Maybe while they’re talking I can catch another nap. The last time I did that, I woke up in such a lovely way.
But I suppose that’s too much to wish for. Perhaps.

great post….that was funny….please post soon!
can’t wait to see what tina says to jess… love this s tory… please don’t make us wait to long
And next…the difficult talk? Looking forward to it.
albeez…how you make #1 (pushing you off) * THUD *….oops…sorry girl! +_-
I can’t go on to the next chapter without doing my duty of responding to this one….
It would have been nice if they, (B,T&J) had all sat down together to have this talk. Oh well, since Bette gets to nap, she has gotten a reprieve. I don’t think she would have been able to handle anything Jess would have thrown at her anyway.
I love it when Tina takes charge. She just might have to tell her daughter that it was NIT Bette who initiated anything; considering Jess ran thinking that this was all Bette’s doing.
Ok, I end this post hoping that Tina pleasantly wakes Bette from her nap much like she enveloped her dreams…..
GOOD CHAPTER!
hopefully ill be first. “standby”. i almost spewed my drink on that one. but the one that got me was “Tina didn’t give me warning on many fronts.” yeah baby. that did it for me. *wiping monitor off*. but not nice to leave us hanging like that. poor bette is gonna have a stroke wondering what went on in there. and tina did start it. this was just great. made my night. thanks.
Still love it keep posting!!!
Ah, the pitter patter of little feet – or elephants.
Leave it to Shane to have a date contingency plan. I can almost envision her date circling in a holding pattern.
The John Lennon and Yoko Ono reference was priceless! That got a true belly laugh.
I can only imagine that Tina’s talk with Angelica is akin to the Peace Talks from the 70’s. Tension and angst with all parties concerned. But, will detente be reached?
I can only imagine that Bette wishes it were all a dream. Well, some parts at least.
Nice interaction between Shane and Bette. Nice to see Bette opening up to her about how she feels about it all.
Bette letting Tina take the lead is a good idea. If she pushes Tina too hard it might strain the tenuous relationship they both have with Jess at the moment.
Hopefully, Tina can assuage any fears that Jess has about being replaced.
Fantastic chapter. You’re getting quite good at these cliffhangers, aren’t you!?
oh, pseud, this is such a heartwarming story! I just love how you have the three of them coming together and providing the story in their voices.
Needless to say, I wish you post everyday; but if you post everyday, then I would wish you post every hour; so I am going to say “Thank you so much for posting” and sharing your story.
Have a great weekend.
another great chapter Shane is such a good friend now lets wait for some storm or family union???..lol..cant wait for next one
So Jess wasn’t as stealth as she thought she was. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Ditto everything everyone else said. This story is so good, I’m so happy you came back to it.
I always log in and look for this story so I was so happy that today you posted! It was great – I love this Bette and can’t wait to see how Tina handles the talk!
great as always! Love this story!
Great chapter, I hope Jess is cool with everything.
